Zhuo Qingyi was confused...

She really couldn't understand what was going on between Fei Yan and the empress dowager.

But since Fei Yan was unwilling to say, she did not ask anymore.

Finally, Fei Yan said: "That's right! Her Majesty said that she would hold a banquet in the imperial garden tomorrow to give me a welcoming reception! All the concubines and maidens were to be present! "Sister Four, tomorrow you have to choose a beautiful outfit to wear. When that happens, I'll definitely shock you to your core!"

Zhuo Qingyi said with jealousy, "You're so beautiful! No matter who stood beside you, they would pale in comparison! My pretty clothes won't do any good either. "

Fei Yan laughed: "Anyway, Fourth Sister, you can look prettier tomorrow, I guarantee that there will be benefits!"

Zhuo Qingyi muttered: A banquet tomorrow?

Could it be that something special was going to happen?

Moreover, the empress dowager was too strange!

She had been in the palace for more than half a year, but this was the first time she heard that the empress dowager would hold a welcoming reception for a pretty girl!

That night, the two sisters slept in the same bed, chatting with each other late into the night.

Fei Yan told him many strange and interesting things, causing Zhuo Qingyi to be both envious and surprised.

She was even resentful towards fate. Why was she not the baby that was taken away?

Otherwise, she would be the one to have to go through so many funny things!

The next day had a rare quiet and bright day.

There was no Empress Dowager, no Tyrant, no one coming to the Qing Ya Pavilion to disturb the two of them.

The Zhuo Qingyi introduced the many etiquette, rules, and the struggles between the various concubines in the palace to Fei Yan.

It was not until the evening that the Empress Mother finally sent Dark Star to escort the two to the Imperial Gardens for dinner.

Fei Yan helped Zhuo Qingyi choose the most beautiful piece of clothes, making the originally delicate and pretty Zhuo Qingyi look extremely charming. Although it was not as stunning as Fei Yan's jade carvings when compared to her plain face and light makeup, at least it looked like the gentle temperament of a little family member.

"Sister Four is so beautiful!"

Fei Yan impolitely kissed her on the cheek.

"Hm!" Hm! How fragrant! "She really is a great beauty!" She said smugly.

Zhuo Qingyi laughed shyly: "Little sister, you're so bad, eat my tofu!"

Fei Yan said in a very cheerful manner: "How about I let you eat my tofu back?"

The dark star looked at the two of them with a cold expression.

Zhuo Qingyi said: "Alright, alright. Stop it! The Dark Star lady had been waiting for a long time! Little sister, what do you think is so special about today's banquet? Why do you want me to dress so beautifully? "

Fei Yan said: "Because there's a special person that's going to appear tonight!"

Zhuo Qingyi asked: Who is it?

Fei Yan smiled mysteriously: "You'll know soon enough!"

Zhuo Qingyi asked somewhat helplessly: "Why do I keep having the feeling that you are very mysterious, and that you have great abilities?"

"Time to go."

Dark Star urged coldly.

Only then did Fei Yan and Zhuo Qingyi follow behind her and left.

The imperial garden was decorated lavishly and impressively. Just as night fell, the lamps were already lit up, giving the impression of a resplendent imperial household.

The banquet had yet to begin and the guests had yet to arrive.

Only a few eunuchs and palace maid were busy preparing various fruits and cakes, like little bees.

"You guys wait here for a moment. I will go and report to Her Majesty. "

The Dark Star left them both and went to see Her Majesty.

Seeing such a large lineup, Zhuo Qingyi said with a bit of shock: "Fei Yan! Is this really just a welcoming banquet? "

Fei Yan said: "Could there be a problem?"

The Zhuo Qingyi said, "The last time I saw the imperial family and the empress dowager call on the King of Tsushi and imperial concubines of the border tribes, they weren't even this grand! The empress dowager really treats you well. She's actually making such a big show to welcome you back. "

Fei Yan smiled slightly: "Fourth Sister, you are also one of the main characters tonight!"

Zhuo Qingyi still did not forget why Fei Yan made her intentionally wear the most beautiful clothes, but after looking at Fei Yan, she asked curiously: "Little sister! Since the empress dowager is giving you a welcoming party, you should be the main character! Why are you dressed like this... "It's that simple."

Fei Yan blurted out: "You're wearing it too complicated!"

Zhuo Qingyi exclaimed, "Ah! Climb over the wall? Fei Yan, what are you doing climbing over the wall? "

Fei Yan said: "Sister Four. Just relax. "Don't worry about anything else. Tonight, we'll just enjoy the delicacies of fine wine. I heard that there's even a very good juggling program!"

"Why aren't you dead?"

A sharp voice came from behind him.

Fei Yan and Zhuo Qingyi looked back, it was actually Concubine Bai!

Zhuo Qingyi lowered her head and said softly, "Fei Yan! "She's the empress dowager's mother, and is also a mean and petty person. You must not offend her!"

Fei Yan asked: "Sister Four. Has she offended you before? "

Zhuo Qingyi said softly, "It can't be considered as offending. When I first arrived, she gave me five days' chores under the false edict of Her Majesty. Afterwards, I heard from Concubine Li and the others that the Concubine Bai knew that I was a member of the Zhuang family, and wanted to show me some power. "

Fei Yan laughed coldly: "Then it's settled! I'll show her some respect as well! "

"Fei Yan! "No!"

Zhuo Qingyi wanted to stop him, but how could she?

Fei Yan had already rushed towards Concubine Bai!

"Concubine Bai! Are you the legendary Concubine Bai? " Fei Yan said with a smile.

Concubine Bai looked at Fei Yan in shock, his eyes filled with a terrified light!

"You … How are you unharmed? "

"Should I be injured?"

"Empress Dowager …" How could the empress dowager let you go? "

"Is it strange?"

"Of course! Anyone who offended the empress dowager would die miserably! How could you be an exception? "

"Perhaps …" It is my personality that is straightforward! Her Majesty said that she had been in the harem for too long and had accepted too much flattery and false exaggerations. It was rare to hear some sincere voices, so Her Majesty said that she greatly appreciated my honesty and did not punish me! "

"Honesty? Oh. What did you say to Her Majesty? "

"It's nothing. I only said that Her Majesty's skin was darker and that she should be less sunny in the future. Her Majesty thought this was a good suggestion, and that I was an honest person and did not deliberately avoid the subject because of Her Majesty's dark appearance, so Her Majesty seemed to be very happy. "

"You … Is that true? "

"Of course! Otherwise, why would Concubine Bai think that Her Majesty would let me go? Furthermore, since Concubine Bai is here, you should know that the empress dowager is giving a banquet for me tonight? "

"Humph!"

Unexpectedly, the Concubine Bai did not attack Fei Yan, only coldly laughed, and quickly left.

The Zhuo Qingyi caught up and said: "Fei Yan! She … Why didn't she make things difficult for you? Concubine Bai is very aggressive, any newbie who just entered the palace, she would have to suffer for a while! "

"Possibly... She must be in a hurry right now. "

"Urgent? What urgent matter? "

"Hurry up and act dumb!"

"Foolish? What exactly is going on? "

Zhuo Qingyi was confused.

Fei Yan replied, "Just now I told her that the empress dowager really likes to hear honest voices and doesn't like false flattery."

Zhuo Qingyi asked: "So what?"

Fei Yan said: "I guess the Concubine Bai should be running over to the empress dowager to show his sincerity now!"

Zhuo Qingyi asked: What do you mean by honest?

Fei Yan smiled slightly: "Fourth Sister. "What do you say is honest in front of the Empress Dowager?"

Zhuo Qingyi's expression changed, and she said: "Could she …"

Fei Yan laughed: "Sister Four. Do you think she's stupid? Hehe. However, Fourth Sister, don't worry. The empress dowager should be in a good mood today, and this Concubine Bai is her family. However, I'm afraid that will be enough for her to endure! "

Zhuo Qingyi said in a somewhat terrified voice, "Fei Yan! You are toying with Concubine Bai, I am afraid she will hate you in the future! "

Fei Yan said: "She gave Fourth Sister a show of force, and I did it back! I am such a person. If others are good to me, then I will be good to others! If someone else tried to harm me, I'll definitely die miserably in the end! "

"Empress Dowager! "Majesty!"

Concubine Bai shouted and rushed into the Shunning Palace.

The Dark Star stopped her, "palace maid is inside waiting for the empress dowager to dress up!"

Concubine Bai glared at her and said, "Don't think that just because the empress dowager trusts you that you aren't small at all! You should be clear about who is the master and who is the servant in the harem! Get lost, don't stop I! "

The Dark Star didn't say anything, and quietly made a path.

The Concubine Bai rushed in and saw two old palace maid dressing the empress dowager up …

"Empress Dowager …"

Just as Concubine Bai was about to speak, he suddenly saw that the empress dowager's face was riddled with acne and pimples. Majesty! "Your face …"

The empress dowager slightly scolded, "What are you making such a fuss for?"

Concubine Bai said, "Grandma …"

The empress dowager raged, "Bastard! I told you a long time ago that you were not to call her the I's nanny when someone was around! "

Concubine Bai lowered his head and replied softly, "Yes! Majesty! Empress Dowager, why are there so many pimples on your face? "

"What is there to make such a fuss about?" the empress dowager asked.

Concubine Bai remembered what Fei Yan had said. The empress dowager liked to speak honestly.

She boldly said, "Empress Dowager! You are an old man in your fifties with so many pimples on your face. If others were to see you, they would laugh at you! There will definitely be a lot of people going to the banquet tonight! "

The empress dowager's face sank. "What nonsense are you spouting?"

Concubine Bai said, "Empress Dowager! Your skin color is already quite dark, and you also have so many pimples. It's really too ugly! "How about …"

"What did you say!"

The empress dowager flew into a rage, and with a wave of her hand, she shattered the box she was combing in front of the mirror!

The Concubine Bai was shocked as he looked at the furious empress dowager in horror.

The empress dowager's eyes burned with rage. "Could it be that you don't know that this I doesn't want to hear anyone say black words? Do you really think that you can act presumptuously just because you're I's niece? "

Concubine Bai was so scared that his entire body was trembling. He stuttered, "Empress Dowager … Too... After that, don't you like to hear the truth? I... I was just telling the truth. You really do look black, and there are so many pimples on your face … It truly is unsightly! "

"Bastard!" Who told you that the I wants to hear the truth? "

"Zhuo Fei Yan! It's her! It was that slut of hers that framed me! Majesty! Majesty! You have to uphold justice for me! "

Concubine Bai finally understood that he had been tricked!

"Pah!"

The empress dowager gave her a heavy slap!

The slap caused Concubine Bai's face to feel a stinging pain!

"Idiot!" If you were a tenth of the power of the two girls, I wouldn't need to worry so much! "Scram!"
